Is synthetic grass heat a real concern? An extensive study by an independent environmental science firm puts concerns to rest. In short, they conclude while artificial grass may get relatively hot, it cools quick with shade or slight watering. Maybe the song is right after all. What goes up, must come down… espcially synthetic grass temperature!

The research was part of a year-long series of studies and literature review by Milone & MacBroom, Inc., which conducted a variety of tests of artificial grass installed on athletic fields in Connecticut. In 2007, laboratory tests at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) raised a number of questions concerning the safety of fake grass used on athletic fields and led to national debate.

Synthetic Grass Heat: The Research Introduces Honesty

“We’re pleased to see those findings backed from another independent source,” said our NewGrass President. “They bring honesty to the synthetic grass heat conversation.” Hence, the new information prevents the hot fake grass myth from spreading.

“Rapid cooling of the fibers was noted if the sunlight was interrupted or filtered by clouds,” according to the findings in Evaluation of the Environmental Effects of Synthetic Turf Athletic. “Significant cooling was also noted if water was applied to the synthetic fibers in quantities as low as one ounce per square foot.”

However, NewGrass provides a safe, enjoyable lawn year-round even in the hot temperatures. And it looks so real! Also, natural turf grass requires an exorbitant amount of water. This is true if you want it to stay green for any length of time. In addition, fertilizers and pesticides are part of the evergreen equation as well. Yet, NewGrass remains green with none of those. Consequently, if it gets a little warm, a quick spray with a water hose remedies the situation. In short, synthetic grass heat doesn’t have to be an issue.
